The Last Week in August

Hardly seems possible that this is the last week in August. It has been a magnificent summer -- even the thunder storms were exciting and usually in the evening or at night. Great how cooperative the weather is here.

Our Labor Day Weekend Picnic is September 30th from 5:30 to 7:30 PM. Bring your own drinks and the rest will be provided -- smoked ribs, chicken and beef brisket. We will have a yellow potato salad with capers, our own corn salad, pasta salad, brownies and more.

Some events coming up for this week, so you can plan your trip are on Saturday, August 23rd there is a Farmers' market on Old colony Way in Orleans Center, 8:00 AM to Noon. The Harwich Conservation Trust is giving free guided tours from 9 AM to noon lasting 1 to 2 hours. Call 508-432-3997 for details.

Sunday, August 24th -- Wellfleet Bay Wildlife Sanctuary in Eastham has their trails open from 8 AM daily. There are guided hikes, seal cruises, nature education and kayak trips. Call 508-349-2615 for reservations.

Of course, there is always a stroll through Wellfleet to enjoy all the galleries. Golf is a staple here, and there are some amazing courses for beginners to old pros. Certainly if your golf game isn't up to par, the views will make up for it. Some of our guests have even taken sailing lessons. Said it was awesome. A lazy kayak trip through the salt marshes is a peaceful way to spend the afternoon, and get a little exercise too.

We have a couple of nights available on Monday and Tuesday. We have our Guest House 5 available for three nights starting on Wednesday. And, we have three one-night special rooms -- one on Thursday and two on Friday. See you on Cape Cod at the Whalewalk Inn & Spa.
